Dal Zotto

The Dal Zotto philosophy begins with what is closest to our hearts – family. From rural life in Italy, to settling in the King Valley, to pioneering Italian grape varieties, the journey has been a shared one. Along the way, from the good times at the table to our appetite for discovery in the vineyard and winery, it is ‘La Famiglia’ that has brought it all together. We invite you to join us on this journey, pull up a chair at the family table, savour both the Tradition and Innovation in our wines and share our stories.

What differentiates your vineyard to others in the region? The cool, even climate of the King Valley encourages a wide range of grape varieties to flourish, with long ripening season providing time for flavours to develop. Across our vineyards, the result for us is that it is the perfect place to grow and make not only the varieties that wine lovers are very familiar with, but also indulge our passion for exploring innovation with Italian varieties. The business began in 1987 when Otto and Elena Dal Zotto planted their first vines. In 2004, Dal Zotto made industry history with the release of Australia’s first ever prosecco, an Italian sparkling wine which continues to attract awards. The unique selling proposition of being the pioneers of prosecco in Australia is a key reason that visitors come to the winery in their thousands each year.

What’s your most popular wine? Prosecco has an extra special place in the hearts of the Dal Zotto family, especially patriarch Otto who was born and raised in Valdobbiadene in north-eastern Italy – the home of the Prosecco variety. Dubbed as the perfect ‘any-occasion’ wine, prosecco is the ideal drop for its lean, crisp acidity. The Dal Zotto Pucino Prosecco NV is made in the true prosecco style using the charmat technique. All the classic characters associated with Prosecco include ~ lifted fragrances of jasmine and wisteria on the nose flowing through to crisp apple and hints of lemon zest on the palate. This wine is all about fun!

What’s your favourite wine to produce? Prosecco of course!!In 2010, Michael Dal Zotto received a scholar ship to travel to Italy to study the techniques of Prosecco growing and winemaking. This is by far Michael’s favourite wine to produce and drink.

Does your vineyard have a restaurant? What style is it? Popular dish? Our Trattoria is conveniently joined to our cellar door. Featuring a menu of, naturally, Italian-inspired seasonal and regional produce. From simple antipasto combinations to delicious gnocchi dishes and handmade pasta, family matriarch ‘Nonna Elena’ works overtime in the property’s garden to produce the freshest ingredients for the kitchen. While dinning, why not take a stroll around the garden and see what seasonal goodies are being used.

What else would you recommend people do while they are in they’re in the region?Nature-based: Tours of The Kitchen Garden any day of the week; Nearby attractions include: Powers Lookout, Dandongadale Falls, Paradise Falls, Lake William Hovell, King River (swimming, fishing, picnic and rafting!).Cycling: Dal Zotto Wines is officially accredited as a ‘Cycle Friendly’ business; Regional Cycle Guides are stocked in the Information Display cabinet.Cultural heritage: The grounds stand as a striking visual testimony to the region’s tobacco history, defined by early Italian migrants, with original tobacco buildings converted to modern day usages; Games of bocce on the free court;

Cofield

The Cofield family have been treading the vineyards of Rutherglen for generations. Frank Cofield, the Great Grandfather of the current owner, Damien Cofield, started working at St Leonards vineyard in 1909. His children followed suit with labourious vineyard toil for many vintages at St Leonards. One of these children, Harold, worked there all his working life – over 50 years.

Winery founder Max Cofield spent his school holidays working there, chipping weeds, before getting an ‘inside job’ working at Seppelt and later at All Saints winery. In 1985, Max at 45 decided it was time to set up on his own. He obviously made the wine industry look enticing, because his son Damien has followed Max into the industry, and has now taken over the winery, awaiting the next generation to mature.Cofield Wines

Cofield have been sourcing fruit from their own vineyards in Rutherglen, as well as from grape growers in the following regions – King Valley, Alpine Valley, Beechworth, Glenrowan, Central Victoria, Pyrenees, Tumbarumba & Orange. In 2012 we have made the decision to focus on the North East Zone, so as well as our Rutherglen fruit we will also feature the King Valley, Alpine Valley & Beechworth.
